PRESBYTERIS DISASTER ASSISTANCE for Pakistan.  1.5 million people have been displaced by flooding in Pakistan. Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is working with our ecumenical partners to respond to the needs. One Great Hour of Sharing funds have already been sent to help with the provision of the basics — food packages, shelter materials and non-food essentials — for families in need. Our partner Church World Service Pakistan, which has worked in the area for more than five decades, is providing medical teams and mobile health facilities, which are helping to provide emergency health services.  PDA funds will help provide emergency food assistance, emergency shelter supplies, and mobile health access. The food packages consist of food basics for a family for a month. The shelter kits include a winterized tent and plastic sheeting.  Individuals may give through their local Presbyterian congregation or by sending their check to:

Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) P.O. Box 643700 Pittsburgh, PA 15264-3700.  Please include the special designated giving account DR000038 – Pakistan.
